Earthquake happened in Manila Philippines just 5 minutes ago!

i hope and pray everyone safety my kababayan in manila.just continue praying and everything will be fine.

Hi grecy! Actually I have just been informed that there was an earthquake a few minutes ago in the Philippines, and I was bit anxious that I was talking with someone in my YM and suddenly stop a while and when i asked about where was he, said that there was an earthquake happened so they have to leave the premises a while.And it happened twice and the second time it makes me nervous since he was not able to answer my pm bit longer and still keep joking after that, so annoying..Hope everything is fine there now and pray for safety of everyone! Stay safe guys and God bless everyone!

i have experience great earthquakes before. the strongest and the last time that i can remember was when the Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991, am i sure of the year? i was in the 11th floor of the dbp building in makati. that was too scary experience of ours. but this lately, it wasn't felt here in cebu. so how are you doing now after the quake? hope you are all fine there.

It was strong here in our area, Pasay, and I heard on the news that the epicenter was on Mindoro with a magnitude of 6. It was the third strong Earthquake I felt since 1990 the second one was last 2005.

i never thought that it was an earthquake because i feel dizzy at that time. im here in pasig.

Im in 19thfloor when the earthquake just happened. I really scared since Im in the building. Dont know what to do. But keep on praying to stop this earthquake. What really happening to our world now.

When this happened yesterday, I was in a cab on my way to my bank. One thing I noticed was the intense heat. When I got to my bank, my friend informed me that there was an earthquake and I also noticed that the bank tellers were quite unnerved. They said that it was strong and lasted for about a minute. But so far, no one I know of has been hurt so I am thankful. I can share my earthquake experience, the strong one that destroyed Baguio in the 90's. We were thankful because we did not have classes on that day and my brothers' and I were just at home. I remember the strong shaking as if the whole house was about to collapse and we were on the second floor. But thankfully, my family was also unharmed then. The key to these type of disasters is not to panic. My brother who is based in the US has asked me to make a emergency kit bag that I can pick up in case of another stronger and much devastating earthquake.

Where I live, the big worry is tornados, not earthquakes. How is everything where you live right now?

Hello grecychunny, Yes, I felt the earthquake yesterday afternoon. At first I thought I was just dizzy, but I can see the tables shaking also. It was strong, our intensity here was 4. I just hope it won't happen again. Take care

Hi grecychunny26! We had strong quakes here in Japan every year. After the Great Hanshin earthquake in 1995, we are more aware and prepared for this type of natural disaster. Be careful, there might be aftershocks. Happy mylotting!

we live on the 5th floor of a bldg and yes we felt the earthquake just before i go to work. good thing i'm still home because my kids were so afraid. Now i want to convince my husband to move in a regular house because i feel so bothered every time i'm away I always think of the earthquake and my kids.

Really?? what time it happened? how strong it is? my parents are there..I hope it don't make huge damage like that typhoon last year. I know there are still tons of people who aren't recovered yet of that disaster..I do had experienced when I was 5 year old way back 1970..ughhhh!! it really shaked our house just like we are a pop corn inside..everything turn upside down and after that I got severe headache..which part of Manila it happened?

A friend called me up and told me that an earthquake hit manila around 1:30 pm at least i thought hes just bluffin but hey its for real. Good thing i didnt noticed it im pretty scared of any quakes may it be strong or even weak. ;) I just wish there wont be alot of aftershock at all ;)

Exactly the earthquake happened just when my friend in Manila and I were chatting on Skype.Thank God it did not make any major damage in the city. At times,I feel so pity for the Philippines because of many disasters occuring. Let´s be united in our prayers for everybody´s safety.

Wow your so fast in posting it in here. I also felt it and I also got nervous since it was really long shaking and we were on the 5th floor of the building. I think that if that went longer everybody is about to panic. But then, I think it stopped so everybody went back to normal again. I felt and saw it when I saw the water in my jug suddenly shaked from left to right and it was really strong. I also saw that the things on my table was shaking as well. It was really a dizzying experience but thank God it did not last that really long.

Hi grecy, Earth quake is a natural calamity and nobody can prevent it, it is true. I hope the people in your place are safe and nothing happened badly. We felt the earth quake slightly when it devastated the state of Gujarat (India) and again felt when it happened in Pakistan and Kashmir. But it was minor in our place so there was no loss of any lives or things. The people in these places still to face difficulties to get a normal life and in the beginning government has done many things. It is not sure that everybody (mean the right people) got the helps from government. I really pray to GOD that, take care of everybody in the world.

I felt it alright. I was in the office, and it was on the 12th floor. the first time I felt it, I looked at my mirror to check if it's moving, but the swaying was just too strong, and then I looked at another officemate and she asked if there's an earthquake and I told her, I think it is an earthquake. After that everybody got quiet cause it just won't stop. I was dizzy after the earthquake and I felt like it was still swaying even if it's really not.

I felt that one too. One of our helpers said the chandelier was shaking so I looked at it and paused for a while. I was cleaning our dogs who just gave pups two weeks ago. I looked at the door and the mirror started to shake so I guess something is really happening. We just stayed on our places and wait for it to pass. The really unforgettable moment that I experienced earthquake was when i was young. It was dark already maybe 11PM or 1AM.. The mirror in front of me started to shake. We were sleeping in a comforter back then and book shelves were located on our foot area. I was trembling back then,,, up to now, I have the same feelings. Even though nothing serious happened, I always shiver when earthquake strikes.

hello grecy, No, i didn't but some how i felt a few shake in the pc but not that strong or because i was the one rocking it. it felt on a very few cities across the country. we should thank god because we get the chance to live and not to let the earthquake get worse. am not sure if did have earth quake here. i hope the scientist can explain, hopes to help us to further prevent more deaths when the time comes.

I have never experienced the earthquake in my life, I really don't want to experience it. What's matter with the earth nowadays? I hope everybody should be safe who are live in the Earthquake sensitive zone!
